Bradford County.
Samuel Shinkle, 47, wasarrested
Sept. 2 on charges of aggravated

train

derails

near

Starke

BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
A Gainesville-bound train had 27
orbits' cas derail approximately a
half-mile west of Edwards Road in
Starke on Sept. 21. .
The Starke Police Department,
Bradford County Sheriff's Office
-and Bradford County Emergency
Management all responded to the
.scene, as well as CSX personnel. Bud
Daniels, manager of security with the
CSX Transportation Railroad Police,
said he thought the derailment
occurred at approximately 6:30 a.m.
Meg Sacks, spokesperson with
CSX. said the train, which departed
from Baldwin, consisted of 57 cars
loaded with aggregate rock. The
cause of the derailment was not
know' n.
Sacks said crews worked
throughout the weekend-day and
night-in cleaning up the site and
repairing the tracks. She said crews
would salvage what cars the) could
by rerailing them and pulling them
away, but those that were severely
damaged would be cut up for scrap-
a costly proposition.
"We try to rescue theni" Sacks
said.
A CSX train accident prevention
team inspected the site to determine
the cause of the derailment. Sacks
said such investigations usually take
*-- a couple of days, depending upon
the incident. The tracks, the cars
and the locomotive of the train and
how the train was being operated are
all factors taken into consideration
during investigations, she said.
,In its attempt to ensure safety, CSX
conducts track inspections several
times a week and trains are inspected
before they depart. Sacks said,: Hot
box detectors placed intermittently
on the tracks detect excess heat,
caused by friction, and alert the train
-crew in such.an event, in which case
the train is stopped.
CSX has approximately 1,700
miles of tracks in Florida. The
company handles approximately
500,000 carloads of freight at its
yards every year.

Tons of twisted metal and-spilled rock resulted from a train derailment that took place

DOE rules make new school unlikely

BY MARCIA MILLER
Telegraph Staff Writer
Although the -Bradford School
Board had been hoping to eventually
secure funding to build a new facility
to replace LawteN Community School,
that funding is highly unlikely, said
consultant John Watson of Clemons.
Rutherford and Associates.
Not only will Bradford likelI not
get a new facility in Lawtey, it will
also not likely gain appro al to build
any significant expansion project at
any school in the county over the
next few ,ears, he said.
"Don't shoot the messenger,"
Watson said to the school board as.
he delivered this news ata workshop
held Sept. 21. -
Watson is a consultant with afff
architectural firm that is highly
involved in education construction.
He was formerly employed by the
Department of Education in the
Office of Educational Facilities.-
He said he knows the criteria DOE
uses in deciding if a school board
can have funding to build a new
facility-and Bradford does not meet
that criteria and is not likely to do so
in the near future.
The problem Bradford faces can
be found in two sets of numbers:
- projected enrollment and numbers
indicating space available in-existing--
facilities.

A school district that wishes to
build or expand a facility must prove
to DOE that it needs the new space
to- serve_ _students attending school
now and those %%ho %%ill attend in the
near future.
If the enrollment and space
available. numbers show the district
already has enough space to ser'e,
the students it will have over the next
few years, DOE w ill not approve the
project.
Enrollment numbers
DOE uses enrollment figures from
the, past 10. )ears to calculate the
number of students who will be in
the county during the next fie e sears.
Bradford's total enrollment numbers
ha' e decreased each year for the past,
six years .
In 2000-2001 Bradford's total
number of Full-Time Equi\alent
(FTE) students was 3,947. That
number went to 3.891, in 2001-2002.
then 3,823. then 3,657, then 3,615
and continued to drop to 3,525 last
year (2005-2006).
"DOE assumes that if enrollment
has been declining, it will continue
to decline until it increases," said
Watson.
By that he meant that DOE will
-project declining enrollment for
Bradford until actual enrollment
--figures prove other ise.

Impact fee for

figure of $4.501 per new residence to

implemented in full, beginning in the
first year they are passed.

RULES
Continued from p. 1 A
DOE projected 3,481 FTE
students for this year (2006-
2007)- There are currently
3,691 FTE.students enrolled
in Bradford schools, 210'
FTE students more than the
projected number.
Unfortunately, an increase
for one. year is not enough
to change DOE's projected
enrollment for the county over
the next five years. In DOE's
books, Bradford is not a school
system thai is growing.
"Based on your internal
knowledge of development that
is happening in h-your county,
this (declining enrollment) may
not be true, but we are bound
by law to use those numbers,"
said Watson. '
He also said the board could
commission a special study that
might prove to DOE that the
enrollment is growing and not
declining.: Such a. study could
get DOE to approve a building
project, but will not get DOE
to fund it.
Essentially, the school
system could gain approval to
use money it already has to
build something, but could not
convince the state to provide
additional money to build
something.
Being a small district,
* Bradford would never be able
to raise, without state help, the
estimated $18 million needed
-to -biild a small ele nlaray--
school.
Maintenance Supervisor
J.E. Mott said Bradford can
expect-an estimated $800,000
to $900,000 per year of its own
funding that can be used for
construction and remodeling.
With a district that includes
some older school sites,
however, a portion of that
funding will have to be used
each year for renovation and
remodeling projects. "We also
have to maintain our existing
facilities," said Mott.
Even if Bradford managed to
secure a significant portion of

.that existing funding in order to
build an addition toa school, for
example, DOE would still have
to approve the project. And
again, DOE would not likely
approve an expansion project
because DOE's projected
enrollment and space available
numbers show Bradforcddoes'
not need it.
Space available
The second set of numbers
DOE uses in making these
decisions are the number of
available student stations
(spaces where students receive
education) in each school.
For example, DOE figures
show there are 936 total student
stations in Bradford High
School. There are 799 students
enrolled, so there are 137 empty
student stations.
That sounds like there should
be plenty of room at BHS,
until you consider exactly.
where those student stations
are located.
For example, there are 60
student stations in the gym for
every period of the day. High
school students no longer have
to take four years of physical
education in order to graduate,
so there are periods where there
are not 60 students in the those
classes.
If you have 20 students who
have to,take science in order to
graduate, you can't send them
to the gym just because there
-are 20 empty student stations
there during that class period.
However, so long- as those
... 20 empty student stations exist,
DOE will say that the school
is not full and an additional
science classroom is not
needed.
That example is an
oversimplification, but that is
essentially the problem. BHS
may have 137 spaces available,
but they may not be in places
that can actually be used to
serve the needs of the students.
The same is true at other
schools. DOE says there are
139 empty student stations at
Starke Elementary School. If
the kindergarten classrooms are
full, the school system cannot

DOE projects declining enrollment for BC schools,
but those numbers may not be correct:

The Department of Education projects that the number of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE)
students in Bradford County will decline steadily over the next five years. However,
the projected decrease from 05-06's 3,525 FTE students to 3,481 in 06-07 did not
happen. The number actually increased to 3,691 for this school year.

Projected

realistically send five-year-olds
into fifth-grade classrooms just
because there are empt) student
stations there.
SHowe'er, DOE would not
likely approve the construction
'of an additional kindergarten
classroom so long as those
empty student stations exist.
Put declining enrollment and
the numbers of empty student
stations together-even though
both sets of numbers may be
misleading-and by DOE rules,
Bradford will not be eligible
for a new school facility.
"So in reality, there is nothing
we can do to get a ne" school,"
said School Board member
Vivian Chappell.
"'You would have to look
at closing a school (in order
to replace it) or combining
schools," said Watson. He
said there would be a chance
that DOE would approve a
project based on replacing an
existing facility that is in poor
condition.
"Thai is a remote possibility,"
said Watson. However, he
pointed out that during the last
legislative session, DOE turned
down a project from another
county that was to build a
facility to replace a 65-year-old
wooden school building.
"It all comes down to
money," said Watson. "DOE
is in a position where it wishes
to fund projects based on

growth. Because of the class
size reduction issue, there are
so many counties that need so
many) classrooms throughout
the state, DOE takes the position
that at least you (Bradford)
have the classrooms."
Even the special funding.
that built Starke Elementar)
School a few years ago is
not realistically available Ito
Bradford to fund a new school
at Lawtey.
Bradford has already
requested that type of funding
and been turned down. The
projects that have been
approved for that type of
funding in recent years have all
been in counties showing high
States of grow th.
While a ner w school for
Lai tey appears to be out of the
question, Moel said there is still
a good possibility that Bradford
could gain approval to use its
own funding to build small
additions to existing facilities.
"DOE is not' totally
unreasonable," said Mott. "We
got permission to do some
small additions under these
same rules. I feel like we'll
still be able to build a couple of
classrooms here and there."

DOE figures show BC
schools are not full:

Because of these figures, DOE will not approve
money to build a new school or expand current
sites significantly. The way these figures are
calculated, however, may not give a true picture of
how crowded BC schools currently are.

Watson said areas of the
i county are growing, in spite
of Department of Education
projections that indicate
declining enrollment .(see'
related story).
"We will need "to add
classrooms over the next five
years, so I think we need to go
with the whole amount now,"
he said.
School Board Member Randy
Jones agreed. "We're getting
the full brunt of people coming
.in, so we need to collect the
whole fee now," he said:
School Board Member Jesse
Moore said he felt the amount
of the fee should be based on
the size of the residence.
"I have a problem with
all single family detached
residences being assessed the'
same whether they are 1,300.
square feet. or 3,500 square'

BY MARK J. CRAWFORD
Telegraph Editor
County Commissioner Doyle
Thomas" phone has apparently
been ringing off the hook over
impact fees, and his may not be
the only one.
While it's not strictly true.
as he claimed during a county
commission meeting on Sept.
21, that the state is forcing local
leaders to enact impact fee
ordinances, state standards and
the governor's pay-as-you-grow
approach to future planning do
require counties and cities to
show the state they can pay for
infrastructural needs. Otherwise
local governments risk losing
their ability to approve new
development altogether.
The ability for the local
governments to support new
commercial and residential
development while maintaining
an adequate level of service
on roads, in schools, with
law enforcement, etc., is
known as concurrency. Soon,
comprehensive plans must
contain a schedule of needed
improvements and show
how the county or city in
question will pay for those
improvements.
Impact fees are not the only
solution, but they do require
that new development pay for
needed capital improvements
to roads, schools, etc. Other
methods, such as additional sales
tax and property tax increases
or loans that must be repaid,
spread that cost among existing
residents and businesses as well
as newcomers.
In considering impact fees,
the intent is to relieve existing
taxpayers of the burden of
funding growth. According to
James Nicholasof the University
of Florida, the consultant hired
to perform the needs study for.
the Bradford, some counties
have even been able to lower
property taxes after impact fees
were imposed.
As it stands now both the
Starke City Commission and
Bradford County Commission
support phasing in impact
fees over four to five years.
Roads and. schools would be

funded first, followed by fire
and recreation in year two. law
enforcement in Near three and
public buildings in Nearefour.
An impact fee for libraries
would d be added in year four
or fite, depending on the final
agreement between the city and
county.
Fees would also be
imposed in the county's other
municipalities, pending their
agreement.
The final impact fee for a
new single-family home would
be $10.245 at the end of the
phase in. Year one fees for roads
and schools would total $8,335.
Year two with recreation and
fire impact fees would bring
the total to $8,957. Adding law
enforcement in year three would
make it $9,643, with the final
$10,245 being reached in year
four (or five) with the addition
of fees for public buildings and
the library.
Fees are lower for mobile
homes ($8,691 at the end of the
phase in), and other residential
buildings are charged based on
the number of living units they
contain. Commercial structures
would be charged for every
1,000 square feet of space built,
making fees generally higher
for commercial development.
Such developments, however,
are exempt from paying fees
for schools, libraries and parks
since they do not impact those
service areas.
Ordinances imposing impact
fees advertised in October
or November could be heard
before the end of the year.
although there will be a 90-day
grace period before fees begin
to be collected.
What have other
county's done?
Road fees imposed on
residents in Alachua County in
2004, $1,052 per 1,000 square
feet in single-family homes,
were too low according to
county commissioners there.
The lower fees, which represent
less than half the amount
necessary to pay for the impact
of new development, were part
of a compromise driven by

fears that impact fees would
slow development-something
that hasn't occurred.
Alachua also adopted fees
for fire service and parks ($76
and $126 per 1,000 square feet,
respectively), but schools were
left out, leading to conflict this
year over imposing impact fees
for schools or asking voters to
approve a half-cent sales tax
for school construction.
While the sales tax would
generate more money for
schools, at least one county
commissioner felt it-was wrong
to ask voters to approve a
sales tax increase before the
county took other steps to
raise building funds, including
imposing impact fees on new
development.
In Clay County, impact fees
were only imposed for schools
and now cost $7,034 per new
single-family home ($5,979 per
new mobile home). That fee
alone approaches the amount
recommended for schools,
roads, etc. in Bradford Count).
Commissioners in Clay County,
however, are consider lowering
it to $6,376 per single-family
home ($2,933 per mobile
home), which is still more than
the $4,501 recommended for
schools in Bradford Count).
The school impact fee was
imposed in Cla) in 2003; the
same year voters defeated a
proposed half-cent sales tax
increase.
While per-student costs
have increased by as "much
as 30 percent in Clay County,
property values have increased
as well, providing additional
tax revenue. The school district
in Clay also received $45
million in construction funds
from the state, allowing the
county to consider lowering the
impact fee.
Alachua, Clay and Baker
counties do not have the type of
countywide ordinance Bradford
is considering. In those
counties, fees are collected in
the unincorporated areas of the
county, while their cities may
or may not impose impact fees
of their own.
Macclenny, for example,
charges the same $3,000 for a

Lawtey PD wins first place in challenge

The Lawtey Police
Department received a first-
place award from the Florida
Department of Transportation
for having the best overall
traffic safety program in the
state for police agencies with
up to 10 officers.
The award was presented on
Aug. 18 -during the 2005 .Law .
Enforcement Challenge Awards
Ceremony at the Hilton Hotel
in Lake Buena Vista.
The Law Enforcement
Challenge is a competition
between law enforcement
agencies. It rewards the best
overall traffic safety programs
in the state.
The areas of concentration
include efforts to enforce laws
and educate the public -about
occupant protection, impaired
driving and speeding.
The Lawtey Police
Department- submitted an
application and 10-page booklet
documenting the agency's
effortsand effectiveness in these
areas during 2005. Thie winning
safety programs are those that
combine officer training, public
information and enforcement
to reduce crashes and injuries
within its jurisdiction.
Receiving the first-place
plaque on behalf of the police
department were Major'
Nathan R. Blom and officers
Johnny Hernandez, Kristopher
McRae. and Michael Jenkins.
In addition to the aviard. the
Lawlte) Police Department gill
receive a variable-message

sign trailer, two portable
speed measurement signs, 40
traffic cones and 10 traffic
barricades-altogether worth
more than $15,000.
All first-place category
winners received a key for a
2006 Dodge Charger Daytona
RT model car. Only one key
started the car, however, and
even though Lawley's key
did not start the car, it was
still a site to see with its one-
of-a-kind graphic design that
has a NASCAR look to it and
highlights the Click It or Ticket
theme.
According to Blom, it
was also a great experience
and opportunity.to let people
know that there is more to the
department than just -writing
speeding tickets.
The Florida Law Enforcement
Challenge competition is
coordinated and funded by
the Florida Department of
Transportation. Entries were
judged this summer by a team
of nationally recognized traffic

safety and law enforcement
professionals from across the
country.
Police Chief Butch Jordan
said that he is proud of his
department and the great job
officers do in ensuring public
safety.

new single-family home/that
Baker County charges, but the
city spreads that amount out to
cover impact to roads', schools,
law enforcement, fire/EMS and
recreation. The Baker County
fees are split between roads and
schools alone.
Impact fees, it turns out,
haven't slowed down the
building department in Baker
County, according to a June
article in The Baker County
Standard. However, while the
recommended impact fee level
was nearly $8,000, Baker held
the total back to $3,000. That
means that while Baker County
schools gel $1,500 for every
new home built, they needed
$4,000. Road construction is
also being funded at less than
the recommended amount.
Locally, leaders want
to avoid complications by
imposing the same impact
fee schedule countywide.
They share the same concerns
over the potential for slowing
growth that have caused other
communities like Alachua and
Baker to impose less than the
amount recommended to fund
future growth. There is also
concern that existing residents
and business owners will feel
the bite of impact fees when
they decide to build again.
On the other hand, they don't
want to have to look for that
money elsewhere or face the
possibility of state intervention
should Bradford County find
it can't afford scheduled
improvements.

Bradford County will hold a Public Hearing on the amendment of its FY05/06 Budgets.. The meeting will be held

because of the sports and all

So far the school year has
been a success, according to
Whytsel[- -
"it's been a great year. We
have a great line of staff, and

BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
Bradford County's
constitutional officers, thanks
to the generosity'of Santa Fe
.Community College, will be
providing some of their
services in an office at the
SFCC Watson Center to better
meet the needs of residents
who live in the southern
portion of the county.
Jimmy Alharez, the property
appraiser for Bradford County,
said the idea of opening such
an office has been discussed in
the past. However. it ',a-
*idea a reality at that time
because of the cost involved.
Enter Santa Fe, which
offered the county use of space
in the Watson Center free,of
charge.
"They've really gone
overboard to accommodate
us," Alvarez said, adding that
County Commissioner John
Wayne Herse\ also played a
big role.
It is estimated that *the
satellite office w ill open some
time in October. Services
provided by the clerk of the
court, property appraiser and
tax collector will' be made
available, while a deputy ith
the Bradford County Sheriff's
Office % ill also make use of
the space. Supervisor of
Elections Terry Vaughan said
since people can register to
vote by obtaining or renewing
their driver's licenses-w% which
they will be able to do at the
satellite office-his office
would not ha\e much of a
presence at Santa Fe.
"From time to time, we will
have otherr registration drives
and that sort of thing."
Vaughan said. adding that
voter registration forms w ill be
made available at the Watson
Center office.
The office will be staffed by
one full-time employee.' ho
will be assisted each day by
someone from either the

VFD raises

funds for

fire house
BY LINDSEY KIRKLAND
Times Editor
If it wasn't seen before, the
hard work of the Lawtey
Volunteer Fire Department
will be visible to the public
within the next couple of
weeks as volunteers finish the
fire house's remodeling.
Members of Station 5 began
fund-raising for additions and
remodeling to the fire house
more than two years ago:
"The men and women of
Station 5 have put a lot of
hours into this building," said
LVFD Chief Mike Brown.'
The old fire was
approximately 2,400 square
feet.
'With the addition of living
quarters, office space, a
kitchen and additional bay
doors, the LVFD will now
have 3,500 square feet of
space, with the living quarters
taking up about 1,200 square
feet.
; With Station 5 receiving
more than 300 calls already
this year, Brown said he was
not only anticipating growth,
but he had another purpose for
the fire station.
"The biggest thing is we're
trying to get a rescue station
here," he said. "The north end
(of the county) deeserves to
have a rescue."
The new living quarters are
adequate for a two-man rescue
team.
Brown said it would be
beneficial for the county's
emergency services to put the
rescue station in Lawtey
because ,Lawtey has already
paid for the facilities.
Brown said there was
approximately $24,000
invested in the fire house.

"It's been a big community
project," he said.

Instructor says truck driving a great career for women

BY MARCIA MILLER
S -Telegraph Staff Writer .
Attention women... would,
you like to spend eight weeks
in school and graduate to earn
$32,000 in your first year?
Dawn Bridges, the newest.
instructor at the Bradford-
Union Coinmercial Vehicle
Driving. School, said 'the
answer for her was "yes."
Michelle Jenkins, a student
currently enrolled in the
school, said her answer was
the same.
Bridges. .has been a
professional commercial truck
driver for 10 years and started
as an instructor at the school
Aug. 31. She is also a part-
-time driver for Pritchett
Trucking in Lake Butler,
hauling rock on her days off
from the school.
She said a newly graduated
student could expect toearn
$30,000 to $40,000 in the first
year, depending on what type
of driving he or she decides to
do. She said that 10 years ago,
she earned $32,000 in her first
year of driving and has earned
as much as $76,000 per year
during her career.
"Drivers-can expect to earn.
as much as $100,000 per year,
depending on the type of
driving they do and on their
safety record," said Bridges.
A driver with a better safety
record will be more in demand
by trucking companies and
will be offered better-paying
jobs, she said.
Jenkins said she has always
wanted to be a truck driver,
ever since she first saw a
tractor-trailer as a child.
"I got married and had kids,
so I couldn't be gone." she
said. "Now my kids are out of'
the house. It's my time now."
Jenkins said she loves the
class. "I love it a lot. I work
nights and then come here
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. I'm
-. determined to do this," she
said.
She said she wants to work
as an over-the-road driver,
..making long-haul trips.
Drivers can also choose to
work locally, making short
runs in the area, or as
dedicated drivers, meaning
they would drive the same
route on the same schedule
" '. y. -^ a Lm t "; -r" .J ',--

every week.
........Bridges said she has worked
extensively as an over-the-road

with aggregate rock. The cause
of the derailment was not
known.
Sacks said crews worked
throughout the weekend-daN
and night-in cleaning up the
site and repairing the tracks.
She said crews would salvage
what cars they could by
rerailing, them and pulling
them away, but those that w ere
severely damaged wouldd be
cut up for scrap-a costly
proposition.
"We try to rescue them."
Sacks said.
A CSX train accident
prevention team inspected the
site to determine the cause of
the derailment. Sacks said such
investigations usually take a
couple of days, depending
upon the incident. The tracks.

the cars and the locomotive of
the train and how. the train was
being operated are all factors
taken into consideration during
investigations, she said.
In its attempt to ensure
.safety, CSX .conducts track
'inspections several times a
week and trains, are inspected
before they depart, Sacks said.
Hot box detectors placed

intermittently on the tracks

friction, and alert the train

Goodbye, Foggia

I had driven a truck over the same
route from Foggia to Naples many
times, but this time I was riding in the
back of a truck with about 20 other
soldiers, heading for a temporary camp
, in Naples, awaiting space aboard a
ship bound for the good old USA!
It was late October 1945, and the war
was over on both sides of the globe,
leaving many thousands of soldiers,,
sailors and .Marines free to return
home and pursue civilian lives. The
U.S. military pressed every available'
ship into service. ferrying back to the
states military men and women whose,
valiant efforts had brought down the
powerful German-Japanese fighting
machine.
The unnamed camp to which we
were going was only a few blocks
from downtown .Naples, with the
mess hall in a blocked-off street with
a fence a few feet from the mess hall
exit. After every meal, there were 40-
50 children at the fence holding pans
and other utensils for men to fill with
scraps from the table. I think they
'liked American food, because they
looked to be well fed. The Italians
were faring very well at this point in
time.
I laughed each time ia trolley
passed. ---Not only was the interior
filled, but passengers were clinging
to the outside, covering the vehicle
completely.
In the camp. payrolls caught up
with men, and everyone had money.
Tables were set up. Craps games were
going on throughout, and money was
changing hands. Officials didn't seem
to care for the gambling going. o,:au
I was not a% are of anN problems ab6ut
the winning or losing.of money.
-We-ere in the camp four or five
weeks, with men moving in and out
every day, but there were so many GIs
a ship leaving port didn't make a dent.
The day finally came for us to move
down to the port to go aboard ship.
When I started up the gangplank, I
was given the records of the 34 men
returning to Camp Blaniding and put
in charge, being -the highest-ranking
non-com in that contingent. I had to
make two trips to carry the records.
We went aboard the aircraft carrier.
the USS Randolph. (Dr. BoB Mullins
would later serve aboard the same
ship). A large banner stated. "We
specialize in speed, not in comfort,",
but we were going home arid comfort
was of no concern. The hanger deck,
just' below the flight deck, was filled
with bunks; five high, and so close
one could reach out and touch another
GI. It was quite comfortable.
When the Florida contingent arrived
at its section, we were told that we
would be on KP (kitchen police)
all the way home, but it wasn't a
bad assignment and kept us well fed

i, I'm going home
A series on World War II

during the trip. There was plenty of.
idle time to visit the flight deck and
look at the ocean from a height of a
tall building. :
The Randolph was fast, and we
arrived off the port of New York.'too
early for the scheduled debarking and
had to wait about 24 hours. When
the ship pulled into its berth and we
began marching off, it was about 4
a.m. on a Saturday morning. The
Florida contingent was the last to
disembark, and I walked off, carrying
my duffel bag and records.
We didn't stay ashore very long. We
had to. get in smaller boats to cross
New York Harbor to Camp Kilmer, N.
J.. passing near the Statute of Liberty,
my first viewing of the Great Lady. It
was after daylight when we arrived at
the Army base, and since we had been
up more than 24 hours, we turned in
and slept until II a.m.
The military had promised every
returning GI that he would get an
outstanding meal. upon reaching
home soil, and it really produced,
with tables laden with every culinary
delight known to man, and boy, did
we eat!
As quickly as we had eaten the
Florida contingent was called out and.
boarded a train, heading for Camp
Blanding. We arrived in Blanding
the next morning, and went to
our assigned quarters -to begin the,
discharge procedures.,
Late in the afternoon, my name
was called for me to report to. the
orderly room, and before I got there,
T recognized my car, with my wife at
tiW...heAh atas I reached the car's
doqr,.s e...eheld up an eight-month-old
baby, and said, "Here is your son!" It
was the first time I had seen him..
Shortly thereafter, a few days short
of four years, I received my discharge
papers to begin a new life.
Thank each one of you for reading
this lengthy saga; I hope you have
found it interesting, and for my
generation, I hope it brought back
fond memories of another age and
time.
The ranks of my generation grow
thinner each week and many of you
have more interesting and exciting
stories than I to tell.
My tenure in the armed forces was
rather unexciting, and was fortunate
in my" assignments, but I went where
I was sent, and did .what my job
required. Even though I was never-
in any danger from enemy fire, I am
proud of my military service and
never once regretted having enlisted.
To all my comrades in arms,
wherever you served and whatever
war was being fought, I salute you,.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Reader hopes

Dear Editor:
A theater for the performing
arts. Wouldn't it be wonderful
to have a place for performing
artists to come in Keystone
Heights?
I attended the performance of
"Bravo for Broadway!" last
Sunday at the Presbyterian
Church. The performance was
fantastic and enjoyed by all.
,However, the place wheer.it
--wars held Wag not adequate. It
was crowded, warm and not
very good acoustics.
A theater could be used not
only by artists, but also by our
schools.
Just think how great it
would be to have a nice place
for the students to put on plays
and have their beauty pageants.
A nice place to perform would
probably bring more
performing artists to our city.
Think about this: city,

merchants, population and
anyone else that could

Hunterslooking to bag that.
trophy buck began their quest
when archery season opened
Sept. 23.
Tony Young, media
relations coordinator of the
division of hunting and game
management of the Florida
Fish 'and Wildlife
Conservation Commission,
said archery season provides a
good opportunity to take that
prize deer since mature bucks
usually go nocturnal once
general gun season starts (Nov.
11) and hunters start running
dogs.
There should be plenty of
good deer for those who hunt
on Camp Blanding. That
wildlife management area's
southern portion is open for
the first time since 9-11. That
not only gives hunters twice as
much area to hunt in, but
means the deer in that area
have never been hunted.
"As far as they know, they
live in a state park," said Jim

Garrison, an FWC biologist
who works at Camp Blanding,
"The deer are not going to be
as wary as first."
Garrison said the deer in that
portion of Blanding will have a
maximum antler size, ha% ing
reached the "old age" of 6.
Therefore, he anticipates
Blanding will experience its
best hunting in 10-15 years.
"Everything's lining up that
way," he said.
Archery season in this area
(central -hunting zone) lasts
through Sunday, Oct. 22. A
hunting license and archery
permit-$12.50 and $5,
respectively, for Florida
residents-are required (if
hunting on a WMA, a $26.50
WMA permit is also required).
The season at -Camp
Blanding is broken up into two
-date ranges. The first began
Sept. 26 and runs through
today, Sept. .28. It then
resumes Tuesday, Oct. 3, and
runs through Thursday, Oct. 5.
During archery season, it is
legal to take deer of. either sex

t far off
gardless of antl err size
except spotted fawns). TheF TUR O W

Cadet Evan Stanley of Keystone (left) gives the order to establish a "double arm"'
interval between each cadet as they prepare to walk the flight line to check the path
for debris.

Cadet Daniel Cook (at right) from Keystone, helps measure distances during an
orienteering exercise. When CAP personnel participate in search'and rescue
missions, they have to be able to find thbir way around rough country using a
variety of techniques.

CAP
Continued from p. 1C
involvement in search and
rescue missions first drew him
to become a cadet.
"I was interested in
emergency' services and
ground search and rescue,"
said Stanley.
"I like aerospace education
and I love airplanes," he said.
Stanley said he has learned a
lot in CAP. In fact, he has
risen to the point of becoming
an instructor and: helping to
educate his fellow cadets.
CAP was founded in 1941,
just before the attack on Pearl
Harbor. Civilian pilots were
.trained to' perform
reconnaissance flights for the
military, but CAP also became
instrumental in defending
shipping in American waters
from German submarine
attack. Unarmed CAP planes
would dive on German
submarines, faking them into
turning from the attack.
CAP planes were also
sometimes armed with bombs
and depth charges in order to
protect American shipping
lanes. CAP planes were
responsible for finding 173
German submarines in
American waters, hitting 10
and sinking two.
According to CAP history, a
German commander later said
that U-boat operations in.
American waters were
curtailed "because of. those
damned little red and yellow
airplanes."
CAP was designated as the
auxiliary of the Air Force in
1947, but CAP pilots are not
active military and many have
never been in the military.
They are specially trained
civilians who answer .a call for
Help in relation to search and
rescue, disaster relief and
homeland security.
2nd Lt. Mark Sweitzer, one
of the adult GCAP. members,
said search and rescue is an
important facet of CAP and'
cadets are .trained in all the
techniques involved.
"We go out looking for lost
children or a downed
airplane," said Sweitzer.
"About 95 percent of all inland
search and rescue missions in
the U.S. are completed by
CAP." : '

Search and rescue missions
are manned by adult CAP
members and some of the
more experienced cadets. "Of
course, if the situation is one
that has the potential for
serious injury, we don't send
out kids under 18," .said
Sweitzer
Another important facet of
CAP is aerospace education
and Cook, 13, can't get enough
of that. He said he plans to be
an astronaut-and that's not
just an idle child's fantasy.
Cook has already earned
prestigious aerospace science
awards that provided him with,
a trip to Space Camp and a trip
to Cape Canaveral.
"I've been interested in
aerospace education since my
father told me stories' about

flying," said Cook. "I want to:
be an astronaut and go into
space."
* Cook said he is going into
the Air Force and then will
apply to NASA. CAP provides
him the chance to.be exposed
to aerospace education with
hands-on aircraft and flight
opportunities. "It's great," he
said.
In addition to aerospace
education, CAP also provides
Cadets with training in the:
technical skills that support
emergency services, military
history and customs, teamwork
and moral leadership.

BY CLIFF SMELLEY
: Telegraph Siaff writer
It %%as a Lough veek for the
Bradford volley ball team,
which lost on the road against
Columbia, then dropped all
five matches it played at the
Key stone Heights High School
Invitational.
* On Sept. 21, the Tornadoes
(.4-1 1 prior to Sept. 25)
traveled to Lake Cit. and were
defeated b\ Columbia 3-0 (12-
25, 11-25. 14-25). They then
participated in the first day of
the KHHS invitational-a
best-of'-three format-on Sept.
22. losing 2-1 122-25. 25-21 '.
13-15.i to Providence and 2-0
(13-25, 18-25) to Ridgevie\\.'
Bradford played three

matches on the second da) of
the tournament, starting with a
2-0 1 17-25, 18-25i loss to
Fleming Island
The Tornadoes then played a
tough match against
Menendez, losing 2-0 (19-25,
17-25).
Bradford led throughout the
early part of the first game
against Menendez. A service
ace b) Senquinta Hall and
subsequent kill by Valencia
Cave put the Tornadoes up 8-
4. Bradford later scored four
consecutive points-including
two aces-with Khalaa Hill
serving to overcome a deficit
and go up 16-14.

now the dog hunt area, while
the former dog hunt area
(north of S.R. 16) is a still hunt
area. Also, the check station
has been moved from the
intersection of D Avenue and
S.R. 16 to the intersection of
Dade Road and S.R. 21.
Antler restrictions at Camp
Blanding require a legal buck
to have at least three points on
one side in the still hunt areas.
.- Five-inch antlers are required
in the dog hunt area.
Upcoming seasons (which
may vary on WMAs) for the
central zone are as follows:
*Mourning and white-

Garrison said, beginning Nov.
18 and running through Jan.
14.
The first nine days of that
season at Blanding are limited
to quota hunts (all quotas have
been issued). Garrison
estimates that 80 percent of the
deer harvested during the
general gun season occur
during those first nine days.
Other upcoming seasons at
Camp Blanding are:
muzzleloading gun (Oct. 10-
12, Oct. 17-19), supervised

however, and there was no
doubt who was going to win
after the Tornadoes scored
three touchdowns in the',first
quarter and built a 27-0

held Yulee to minus- 13 yards.
Bradford opened the game
with a seven-play drive that
featured 23- and 16-yard runs
by Rob Harris and Dejor Hill.
Those two runs moved the
Tornadoes to the Yulee 14
before 'Hill had a 1.3-yard

the Indians the ball at midfield.
An 18-yard completion from
Lott to Riki Olivier, and hard
running by Story, moved the
ball to 'the Fort White 19.
That's when Lott, rolling to his
right, hit receiver Josh Mangus
on a parallel course to the right
for a touchdown with 2:59 left
in the first half. McLeod's
successful conversion brought
the score to 14-0.
Fort White (0-4) looked as if
it.was going to pull within,
seen before the half when it
drove the ball from its own 29
to the Keystone 10. The drive
was highlighted by a 34-yard
pass reception 'by Xavier

However, on third-and-I0,
from the 10-yard line, in a play
Dickinson cited as the game's
turning point, Fort White
quarterback Jared Gilmer
attempted an alley-oop pass to
the corner of the end zone for a
touchdown. Unfortunately for
Fort White. Yarbrough picked
off the ball in the end zone and
ran it back up the sideline for a
103-yard touchdown return
%\ith 41 seconds remaining for

Dickinson said that to his
knowledge, it was the longest
interception return for a

Fort White's next series,
despite a 41-yard pass
reception. again sputtered out
in Keystone territory at the 23-
yard line, where the Indians
t took over on downs.
Key stone put together a 77-
yard touchdown drive, the
final act of which saw Taylor
breaking away for a 37-yard
sprint to pay dirt at the 7:20
mark of the third quarter.
McLeod, on the money again

with the PAT, increased the

Fort White fumbled the ball
away on the next series, which
had the Indians knocking on
the door again from their
opponent's 20. Hard running
by Story and Matt Cravey
moved the ball down to the 10,
and Taylor once again sealed
the deal with a 10-yard
scoring dash. McLeod was
again on target and the Indians
led 35-0 with 4:53 remaining

They were close contests the
last two times these teams met,
but unfortunately for the Union
County football team, the same
could not be said of this year's
game, a 61-24 loss to Eastside
on Sept. 22 in 'Gainesville.
The previous two games
were decided by less than a
touchdown, but mistakes by
thq Tigers (1-4) hurt their
cause, against the well-oiled
machine that was the Eastside
offense.
*-Still, head coach Buddy
Nobles said the blame for the
loss was ultimately his.
"It's my fault our players
were not mentally prepared to
play tonight," Nobles said.
"On Monday, we'll go back to
square one.

The game began with the
Tigers winning
something-the opening coin
toss. It is the one thing the
team has won in all five of its
games.
Union deferred its option to
the second half and kicked off
to the Rams. A 35-yard return
put the Rams on their own 46-
yard line. Eastside Quarterback
SVince Brown did most of the
work for his teammates in the
five-play drive. Brown had
two runs for 61 yards,
including the game's first
touchdown on a 6-yard run.
It was a lead the Ramns'(3-1)
would never relinquish.
